This week, we highlight a compelling study released by the
Peterson Institute for International Economics and the audit firm
Ernst & Young entitled "Is Gender Diversity Profitable? Evidence from a
Global Survey." Surveying nearly 22,000 publicly traded
companies in 91 countries, the study concludes that having more

paternal leave policies.
